Picture of BernieFranklin

What can I say about myself? well I'm 51 years old and now live in Yorkshire, England. I served 16 Years in the Royal Air Force as an aircraft technician, and a further 15 years with British Aerospace as an aircraft design engineer.

I've been writing poetry on and off for the past 15 years, alot of my work comes from my own life experiences and I've had a few ! Ive been blown up by the I.R.A., Survived cancer in the 1980's, been in three aircraft crashes and managed to walk away!. Both my children are test tube babies, that was fun? to name just a few.

I had my first book of poetry published in 1999 and am hoping to publish a second book this year, though it will probably be an e-book as apposed to the real thing.
